Superb trip out of Miami, coach on time and relaxing, loads of leg room, learnt a wee but about alligators but for me the airboat cruise was top, only downfall…. wish it could’ve gone even faster 😝
Brilliant trip! We loved our guide Ronet, he was so knowledgeable and funny, full of energy! We saw alligators, had a beer on the boat and enjoyed the alligator exhibition. All in all, a great tour! Highly recommend!
Lisa was the best tour guide very sweet and professional would definitely recommend her as your tour guide

Great Tour and great Host Lisa
First class tour. Lisa was a great guide
Very good experiance, highly recommend. Driver of the bus Ronet Blanc made the experiance entertaining.
Great service!! Ronet Blanc is amazing
Boat captain and gift shop staff were great but ticket lady that allowed us onto the dock should not work directly with customers. We observed her be rude to multiple guests. As we learned summer is NOT the time to see many gators as they stay under water, aside from a few heads. Once at the facility there is very little communication as to where to go for the next activity, staff seems to yell when your group was expected to be somewhere for a show and even then were rushed back onto our bus. With that said, if you’ve never seen an alligator, you will see a large one on exhibit.
Hi Keith_O, thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are sorry to hear about the unproper behavior provided by some staff members. We can assure you that we don't tolerate it and we'll investigate the matter further. We hope to have the chance to welcome you aboard again one day soon! Best, Denisa from Big Bus Tours
